Day 14: Mr. Rogers

"Won't You Be My Neighbor" was actually written by Mr. Rogers himself.

As a child, I loved watching Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood on PBS. He was such a positive role model for children, teaching them about the goodness of caring, helping others, and loving one another as well. I liked every bit of the show, from visiting the post office and fire station, to virtually taking us to a factory through his tv, and to sending us to "Neighborhood Make-Believe."

Getting ready for pre-school, I would toss my shoe from one hand to the other like how Mr. Rogers did in his intro. And how catchy are the songs?! Take a look/read!


It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we're together we might as well say:
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please,
Won't you please?
Please won't you be my neighbor?

Dang, Mr. Rogers was "dope" with his cardigans dontcha think? Haha.

Search some of your old favorite tv shows, it's good to bring back memories. Want a Wyder's Pear Cider? Stay dry and drive safe!
